Gliderss...

 Gliderss...

So i have had my sugar gliders for three weeks now! They seem to be adjusting very well. The lady i bought them from left me a list as to what they eat...[She had them for three years before i bought them on July 10th] We have no pet stores down here where i live so i can't buy actual sugar glider food. These are the foods she told me to feed them====!Carrots,apples,catfood,birdseeds,pecans,nuts-unsalted,dried banana chips,dried carrots,lettuce...====! So anyone have any advise to this or some place i can ored their food from that is not to expensive. Or maybe someone knows the closest pet store to where i live. I live in Mabank Tx. They also like to nipp me a lot. They are very active during the night i can hear them. So that's a good sign that they are adjusting to me right?! Theyy really enjoy the bird seeds and the apples the most.I also give them this grass stuff...its called...Pure & natural alfalfa...And on the package it says its good for all small animals and its a great source of fiber so should i continue fedding them this or no? They dont bark much either....and theyy dont really stink either and are not that messy. Roxy loves to escape under my bed because it's reall dark. But any comments or positive advise please tell me. I would love to hear some gret advise to help me make my babies lifes as happy as possible...

sugar gliders arent supposed to eat catfood! cat food is made for cats and has what cats need. i have heard in somecases it can hurt or even kill.as for bird seeds i say no as well, no salt,chocolate,garlic, no canned foods, no pits from fruit, they can have yogurt,carrots hard boiled eggs, the suggie pellets, strawberries,blueberries,watermelon,cantalope,honey dew, squash. ect but on every site i have been to most if not all have said no to cat food.

I just got 2 suggies about 2 weeks ago. My female is going through a nippy stage also. They are still young aroubd 5 months old. Hopefully she will grow out of it. When she nips I just try to ignore it. Hope I helped you,
